...If your brother is on a Benzodiazpine [such as Xanax] then taking GABA may not be a good thing, and could have some serious side affects (not always but I have witnessed where it has had adverse affect). Something needs to be done for your brother so he can be relieved of his symptoms however, taking a Benzo will just create another addiction and compound his problem. With out knowing more info I am hesitant to make reccomendations. He can download forms titled ”Powerrecovery” or the forms called ”Pilot Research Project” at http://www.addictionsfreehealth.com and he will be given ...

Hello, I work with treating biochemical imbalances which, is the root cause of all addictions. I use nutraceutical grade supplements that you should be able to find easily on the web. Your brother could have testing done that would pinpoint specifically where his imbalances are or, if cost is a factor, I have forms that he could fill out regarding symptoms which will point to particular deficiency or toxicity. After this is done I can make the appropiate recommendations. Please note that when someone is struggling with an addiction I have at the very most 48hrs to significantly reduc ...

Hi, Charles Gant MD., NMD., PhD has treated many with ADD/ADHD with excellent results (My son included) with the same sort of supplements. Through the years we tried all sorts of natural methodes and seen some benifits but nothing like what we had seen through taking the supplements that Dr. Gant had reccomended for him. The results were amazing. My son suffered for alot of years with ADD. The Amino Acid combination had an almost immediate effect on him (with-in 20 min. after taking it.) His skin cleared up, gut problems are almost all gone, as well as his allergies, he is more focus ...

Hi ash369, How is your father doing? I mentioned in my last post how a chemical imbalance is related to addiction. How the imbalance occures can be for a number of different reasons. Lack od essential dietary nutrients/amino acids, toxi-molecular substances and stress. Stress can deplete us quite quickly of our natural "Feel Good" hormones/nuerotransmitters. If these neurotransmitters are not replaced or manufactured from the amino acid’s and nutrients from our food then we can develop all sorts of physciatric symptoms depending on the severity as well as what nuerot ...

Thank you, Dquixote1217 for sharing your story and, to CureZone for offering a great place to share. I have read through the entire thread and I agree with everyone... your son is very blessed to have a Dad that understands him and his addiction. "Keep up the Good Fight" I think you have alot of people cheering for both of you.  I lost my Father due to alcohol My mother due to perscription drugs and my brother due to smoking. I believe all three would of had a greater chance of being alive today, had I of known then what I know now. I remember franti ...

(old for me was a week :) Regarding your father and his cocaine addictions....... People who are addicted to cocaine have a Catecholamine or Dopamine deficiency which is probably what led him to cocaine in the first place. You can take a very healthy individual and give them enough toxi-molecular substances and de ...

My husband was an alcoholic and has been clean and sober for about 22 years now. He had a fatty liver and some cirrohsis. Purified lethicin Helped with both. his cholesteral, and blood pressure is good and no more symptoms of cirrohsis. He too did not eat while he was drinking and had put on alot of weight. He went from 230 lbs to now at 199 lbs.  I think that AA might just be one more piece to the puzzle in solving addiction. I believe it is not just the only piece. Most often the addicted brain is just treated physcologically (the mind) and it is quite often over looked ...

  Hello 2g2b4r, The main effect of alcohol is to reduce the amount of fat your body burns for energy. Rather than getting stored as fat, the main fate of alcohol is conversion into a substance called acetate. . A small portion of the alcohol is converted into fat. . Your liver then converts most of the alcohol into acetate. . The acetate is then released into your bloodstream, and replaces fat as a source of fuel. This is the reason a person who over consumes alcohol can be over weight or with a "Beer Belly" they simple are not metabolizing fat. Your appetite is ...

-regarding....."mercury poisoning, candida and other issues having the ability to alter the way the mind works and causing many symptoms that could be associated with mental illnesses." Most people even physicians believed that emotional upsets cause GI (gastrointestinal) problems.

It does sound like she may be paranoia schizophrenia however, I am not a Dr. I too know someone who is a paranoia schizophrenia and to see them as "normal" and then... to lose their mind.....it is heart wrenching. I have often wondered what went wrong, and I know that most times a condition like this one is treated physcologicaly and the symptoms are just medicated over  leaving the victim most often in a worsen state.

Hey Eldon, Yes, you can reverse fatty liver! Take policosanol and Lecithin, both will definitely not only reverse your fatty liver but cholesterol as well. My Husband was an alcoholic and had a fatty liver with some cirrohsis as well...we did a number of different things. He not only doesn’t have cirrohsis or a fatty liver he has been clean and sober for about 22 years now. His weight went from about 230 down to 199. His cholesterol, and blood pressure are all good. Regarding excessive drinking... You already know first hand, the effects of alcohol on your health so I’ll say no ...

Hi, a couple of more questions.... Has your sister ever had Gonorrhea, Chlamydia or any other type of venereal infection?  can you provide info on bowel habits... eg.does she have say... three meals a day and three BM/day. Constipation or alternate between constipation/ Diarrhea etc. When toxins escape through the intestinal wall (Leaky-Gut Syndrome) and are deposited elsewhere, this puts the immune system on red alert and depending were these toxins are deposited (ovaries) is where the immune system is going to attack.

Hello, In response to your question ”Is it normal to feel depressed after you quite smoking?” Addicting artificial chemicals destroy the natural “feel good” brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. The brain responds to the presence of artificial addicting chemicals by making fewer of its own natural neurotransmitters. When the brain’s ability to make its natural neurotransmitters is suppressed, you’re compelled to find the artificial chemical to fill those receptors in your brain. Something has to go into the receptor sites to keep your mood even. The absence of anything to fill thes ...

Hi, For what ever it is worth my story is similar to yours and I wish to offer you some hope. My daughter was also bulimic, had distructive behavior, and I also suspected she was sexually abused when she was younger. It was the most scariest time in my life. My daughter who is also very beautiful and inteligent was destroying her self and I felt completely helpless to stop her. I would of given my life for her if it would of helped. She also would not talk to me she was very angry and bitter. I admitt I was not always a good support for her. The more she hurt I would crumble and become ...

Hi, In response to your question "Is there any natural or other way to stop opiate wthidrawal ?!!!!?" The answer is YES!!!! You are also correct:  your wife became addicted as a result of the Oxycodone. Prior to starting with the Oxycodone your wife’s symptoms would require the Dr. to give her something to relieve the pain. Unfortunatley the standard medical protocol in most cases is palitive care (masking symptoms) and not currative care (eliminating the cause of the symptoms). The opioid peptides-endorphins, enkephalins, and dynorphins-are powerful natural pain ...
